The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) prepares you to practice nursing as a registered nurse. Graduates of an ADN program usually practice as nurses in direct client care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics and community agencies where nursing roles and services are structured and well defined.
The Associate of Science Degree in Nursing is awarded upon completion of the curriculum, and you will be eligible to apply to take the national licensure examination, leading to practice as a registered nurse.
